Big Power Ball
Lottery Pool Review
Big Powerball Pool is a power ball lottery syndicate that plays the Wisconsin lottery power ball (Note: the syndicate is open to players all over the world though).
The Wisconsin Power Ball is actually part of the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL) which now covers 29 states, and therefore tends to see some very big jackpots - the largest ever being an incredible $295 million!
The actual syndicate groups are made up of 100 players in each, playing 100 tickets total in each Wednesday and Saturday Wisconsin lottery power ball. This gives a minimum of 900 chances of the jackpot every month. The cost is a pretty decent $19-99 per month.
Winnings of less than $10 are rolled over to buy extra tickets the following month. More than $10 and the balance is issued to members by check.
Numbers played in each draw are available on the site before each draw is made, and a list of winnings for the last 90 is also viewable ($10,352.00 won since September 2003).
The Members area contains a lively, friendly newsletter from the owner Tim Luedtke, and plenty of information about the syndicate and winnings/results etc.
Conclusion
All in, this syndicate looks pretty good. Big jackpot, good balance of number of players to size of prizes, and reasonable balance of cost to number of lottery entries. I think this one gets our 'worth a shot' award.
LATEST: Big Powerball Pool has now closed - another victim of the strange US anti-internet gambling laws.
